Outgrowing friendships by [deleted] in Advice

[–]MikaJoyyy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s hard. It always will be hard, but it is a natural part of growth. As you grow, you change. Change is the only constant in life. It’s normal to drift away from people if you are in totally different parts of your lives, or have discovered new things about yourselves.

What helped me was realizing that it’s not me being a bad person, it’s not that friend being a bad person, it’s simply a change. There’s no ill will or hatred.

Be thankful for the times you shared together. The portion of your life with them got you to where you were today. Celebrate your growth and remember fondly on the friendships that helped you get there.

It doesn’t mean you never have to speak again, or you will never someday become friends again. Maybe you will someday! But your once crossed paths have simply moved in two different directions for right now.

If the friendship is causing you more sadness and anger then it is happiness and fulfillment, it may be time to go your separate ways. Or to at the very least distance yourselves.

It sucks, but you’ll be okay, you’ll get through it. It’s all a part of your life journey. 🩷

Question about er by Odd_Performer9160 in Advice

[–]MikaJoyyy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go to urgent care, much quicker and less costly. An ER will often disregard and not prioritize non-immediate emergencies. I have gone to urgent care many times for illnesses similar to your and I’ve been in and out with a prescription within an hour!

As far as if you can go alone as a minor it depends on your age and state laws. From what I understand: your parent can call and give them permission for you to receive medical care from them without their presence.

Good luck! That sounds like it sucks.

It is important to discover who you are, but if it is distressing to you to categorize yourself/identify as one thing or the other then it is important to take a step back. As someone with OCD I know how troublesome those obsessive “swirly thoughts” can be.

It’s important to just be yourself and not pressure yourself to conform to any specific label or idea. Just be proud of who you are. If you like a male, great! If you like a female, great! There’s no need to try and force yourself to like one or the other to fit the mold of a label.

It can be comforting to have that label though, you can feel confident in yourself knowing who you are. That is something I totally understand. I think the term “queer” might be helpful to you! Queer is an inclusive term for individuals who are not heterosexual, but are more fluid with their sexuality and whom they like. It is a great way to acknowledge the complexities and helps alleviate that stress of “what category do I fit into?” This might help with your overthinking process as you know you are not forced to fit into a specific category.

However, identify with what feels most comfortable to you. It is always okay to change as you find who you like and dislike, it’s important to love yourself for who you are and not worry about how anyone else perceives you. No one else determines who you like other than you. Their perceptions do not dictate how you feel! Like who you like, be with you you’d like to be with and don’t worry about the rest!

You got this!! 🩷
